- A guy like me could never hope to be with a girl like her. She has always been so kind to me. I wouldn't want to take advantage of her kindness.

Noa turns and says, "besides your boyfriend would probably kick my ass if he saw me with you."

Kazu: "Oh, so that's what you meant. Actually, I don't have one. A boyfriend I mean."

Noa: "Really? That's surprising any guy would be lucky to be with you."

- Crap what am I saying!

Noa: "Not that I'm saying that I would be."

- Shut up you're making it worse!.

Noa: "I meant to say, you'd make the perfect catch."

- Great, I can hear my relatives mourning over my coffin already. So this is what death... I've had a good enough life at least I can rest now.

Kazu: "Is that what you think of me?"

Noa: "N-no! That's not what I meant! I just don't know how to put it."

Kazu bursts into laughter.

Kazu: "Don't have a stroke. I get what you're trying to say and I think its sweet thanks."

Noa lets out a sigh of relief saying "thank God" under his breath.

Kazu: "You still have trouble expressing yourself, Huh? You shouldn't speak so impulsively."

Noa: "I can't help it, really. I don't talk to too many people."

Kazu: "Well you're going to have to start. How else is a girl to know just what you're thinking... You... dummy..."

Kazu falls to the ground. Noa tries to get a reaction out of her but she doesn't respond.

Noa carries her to the school's infirmary.
